| − | '''Arcangelo Corelli''' ([[February 17]], [[1653]] – [[January 8]], [[1713]]) was an influential [[Italy|Italian]] [[violinist]] and [[composer]] of [[Baroque music]].
| |
| − | [[Image:Corelli.jpg|thumb|right|Arcangelo Corelli.]]
| |
| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | Arcangelo Corelli was born at [[Fusignano]], in the current-day province of [[Ravenna]]. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was [[Bassani]]. [[Matteo Simonelli]], the well-known singer of the pope’s chapel, taught him composition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His first major success was gained in [[Paris]] at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to [[Germany]]. In [[1681]] he was in the service of the electoral prince of [[Bavaria]]; between [[1680]] and [[1685]] he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer [[Cristiano Farinelli]] (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato [[Farinelli]]). (Today his "musical decendents" can be traced to the seventh generation.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1685 Corelli was in [[Rome]], where he led the festival performances of music for Queen [[Christina of Sweden]] and he was also a favorite of Cardinal [[Pietro Ottoboni]], grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became [[Pope Alexander VIII]]). From [[1689]] to [[1690]] he was in [[Modena]]; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In [[1708]] he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to [[Naples]], at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as [[Francesco Geminiani]], [[Pietro Locatelli]], and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to ''Italian Violin Concertos'', Veritas, 2003)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin never proceed above D on the highest string, the highest note in the third position; it is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] that he refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to [[Handel]]’s [[oratorio]] ''[[Trionfo del Tempo]]'' (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offence when the composer played the note.

| − | Six collections of [[violin concerto|concerti]], [[violin sonata|sonatas]] and minor pieces for violin, with accompaniment of other instruments, besides several concerted pieces for strings, are authentically ascribed to Corelli. The most important of these is the XII ''Suonati a violino e violone o cimbalo'' (Rome, 1700). Corelli is also noted for the ''[[Twelve Concerti Grossi]]'', opus 6, which is arguably one of his most famous works.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These concerti have often been popular in Western culture. For example, a portion of one of Corelli's twelve Concerti Grossi, Opus 6 (Concerto 8 (The [[Christmas Concerto]]), 3rd movement) is in the soundtrack of the film ''[[Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World]]''. He is also referred to frequently in the novel ''[[Captain Corelli's Mandolin]]''.

| |
| − | '''Arcangelo Corelli''' ([[February 17]], [[1653]] – [[January 8]], [[1713]]) was an influential [[Italy|Italian]] [[violinist]] and [[composer]] of [[Baroque music]].
| |
| − | [[Image:Corelli.jpg|thumb|right|Arcangelo Corelli.]]
| |
| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | Arcangelo Corelli was born at [[Fusignano]], in the current-day province of [[Ravenna]]. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was [[Bassani]]. [[Matteo Simonelli]], the well-known singer of the pope’s chapel, taught him composition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His first major success was gained in [[Paris]] at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to [[Germany]]. In [[1681]] he was in the service of the electoral prince of [[Bavaria]]; between [[1680]] and [[1685]] he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer [[Cristiano Farinelli]] (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato [[Farinelli]]). (Today his "musical decendents" can be traced to the seventh generation.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1685 Corelli was in [[Rome]], where he led the festival performances of music for Queen [[Christina of Sweden]] and he was also a favorite of Cardinal [[Pietro Ottoboni]], grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became [[Pope Alexander VIII]]). From [[1689]] to [[1690]] he was in [[Modena]]; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In [[1708]] he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to [[Naples]], at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as [[Francesco Geminiani]], [[Pietro Locatelli]], and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to ''Italian Violin Concertos'', Veritas, 2003)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin never proceed above D on the highest string, the highest note in the third position; it is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] that he refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to [[Handel]]’s [[oratorio]] ''[[Trionfo del Tempo]]'' (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offence when the composer played the note.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nevertheless, his compositions for the instrument mark an epoch in the history of [[chamber music]]; his influence was not confined to his own country. Even [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] to have deferred to him, and he is considered one of [[Antonio Vivaldi]]'s greatest influences.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Musical society in Rome owed much to Corelli. He was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy, and for a long time presided at the celebrated Monday concerts in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Corelli died in possession of a fortune of 120,000 marks and a valuable collection of pictures, the only luxury in which he had indulged. He left both to his benefactor and friend, who generously made over the money to Corelli's relations. Corelli is buried in the [[Pantheon, Rome|Pantheon at Rome]]. You can still trace back many generations from student to teacher from Corelli.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of [[counterpoint]].

| |
| − | '''Arcangelo Corelli''' ([[February 17]], [[1653]] – [[January 8]], [[1713]]) was an influential [[Italy|Italian]] [[violinist]] and [[composer]] of [[Baroque music]].
| |
| − | [[Image:Corelli.jpg|thumb|right|Arcangelo Corelli.]]
| |
| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | Arcangelo Corelli was born at [[Fusignano]], in the current-day province of [[Ravenna]]. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was [[Bassani]]. [[Matteo Simonelli]], the well-known singer of the pope’s chapel, taught him composition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His first major success was gained in [[Paris]] at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to [[Germany]]. In [[1681]] he was in the service of the electoral prince of [[Bavaria]]; between [[1680]] and [[1685]] he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer [[Cristiano Farinelli]] (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato [[Farinelli]]). (Today his "musical decendents" can be traced to the seventh generation.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1685 Corelli was in [[Rome]], where he led the festival performances of music for Queen [[Christina of Sweden]] and he was also a favorite of Cardinal [[Pietro Ottoboni]], grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became [[Pope Alexander VIII]]). From [[1689]] to [[1690]] he was in [[Modena]]; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In [[1708]] he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to [[Naples]], at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as [[Francesco Geminiani]], [[Pietro Locatelli]], and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to ''Italian Violin Concertos'', Veritas, 2003)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin never proceed above D on the highest string, the highest note in the third position; it is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] that he refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to [[Handel]]’s [[oratorio]] ''[[Trionfo del Tempo]]'' (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offence when the composer played the note.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nevertheless, his compositions for the instrument mark an epoch in the history of [[chamber music]]; his influence was not confined to his own country. Even [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] to have deferred to him, and he is considered one of [[Antonio Vivaldi]]'s greatest influences.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Musical society in Rome owed much to Corelli. He was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy, and for a long time presided at the celebrated Monday concerts in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Corelli died in possession of a fortune of 120,000 marks and a valuable collection of pictures, the only luxury in which he had indulged. He left both to his benefactor and friend, who generously made over the money to Corelli's relations. Corelli is buried in the [[Pantheon, Rome|Pantheon at Rome]]. You can still trace back many generations from student to teacher from Corelli.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of [[counterpoint]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Six collections of [[violin concerto|concerti]], [[violin sonata|sonatas]] and minor pieces for violin, with accompaniment of other instruments, besides several concerted pieces for strings, are authentically ascribed to Corelli. The most important of these is the XII ''Suonati a violino e violone o cimbalo'' (Rome, 1700). Corelli is also noted for the ''[[Twelve Concerti Grossi]]'', opus 6, which is arguably one of his most famous works.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These concerti have often been popular in Western culture. For example, a portion of one of Corelli's twelve Concerti Grossi, Opus 6 (Concerto 8 (The [[Christmas Concerto]]), 3rd movement) is in the soundtrack of the film ''[[Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World]]''. He is also referred to frequently in the novel ''[[Captain Corelli's Mandolin]]''.

| |
| − | '''Arcangelo Corelli''' ([[February 17]], [[1653]] – [[January 8]], [[1713]]) was an influential [[Italy|Italian]] [[violinist]] and [[composer]] of [[Baroque music]].
| |
| − | [[Image:Corelli.jpg|thumb|right|Arcangelo Corelli.]]
| |
| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | Arcangelo Corelli was born at [[Fusignano]], in the current-day province of [[Ravenna]]. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was [[Bassani]]. [[Matteo Simonelli]], the well-known singer of the pope’s chapel, taught him composition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His first major success was gained in [[Paris]] at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to [[Germany]]. In [[1681]] he was in the service of the electoral prince of [[Bavaria]]; between [[1680]] and [[1685]] he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer [[Cristiano Farinelli]] (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato [[Farinelli]]). (Today his "musical decendents" can be traced to the seventh generation.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1685 Corelli was in [[Rome]], where he led the festival performances of music for Queen [[Christina of Sweden]] and he was also a favorite of Cardinal [[Pietro Ottoboni]], grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became [[Pope Alexander VIII]]). From [[1689]] to [[1690]] he was in [[Modena]]; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In [[1708]] he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to [[Naples]], at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as [[Francesco Geminiani]], [[Pietro Locatelli]], and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to ''Italian Violin Concertos'', Veritas, 2003)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin never proceed above D on the highest string, the highest note in the third position; it is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] that he refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to [[Handel]]’s [[oratorio]] ''[[Trionfo del Tempo]]'' (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offence when the composer played the note.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nevertheless, his compositions for the instrument mark an epoch in the history of [[chamber music]]; his influence was not confined to his own country. Even [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] to have deferred to him, and he is considered one of [[Antonio Vivaldi]]'s greatest influences.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Musical society in Rome owed much to Corelli. He was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy, and for a long time presided at the celebrated Monday concerts in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Corelli died in possession of a fortune of 120,000 marks and a valuable collection of pictures, the only luxury in which he had indulged. He left both to his benefactor and friend, who generously made over the money to Corelli's relations. Corelli is buried in the [[Pantheon, Rome|Pantheon at Rome]]. You can still trace back many generations from student to teacher from Corelli.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of [[counterpoint]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Six collections of [[violin concerto|concerti]], [[violin sonata|sonatas]] and minor pieces for violin, with accompaniment of other instruments, besides several concerted pieces for strings, are authentically ascribed to Corelli. The most important of these is the XII ''Suonati a violino e violone o cimbalo'' (Rome, 1700). Corelli is also noted for the ''[[Twelve Concerti Grossi]]'', opus 6, which is arguably one of his most famous works.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These concerti have often been popular in Western culture. For example, a portion of one of Corelli's twelve Concerti Grossi, Opus 6 (Concerto 8 (The [[Christmas Concerto]]), 3rd movement) is in the soundtrack of the film ''[[Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World]]''. He is also referred to frequently in the novel ''[[Captain Corelli's Mandolin]]''.

| − | '''Arcangelo Corelli''' ([[February 17]], [[1653]] – [[January 8]], [[1713]]) was an influential [[Italy|Italian]] [[violinist]] and [[composer]] of [[Baroque music]].

| |
| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | Arcangelo Corelli was born at [[Fusignano]], in the current-day province of [[Ravenna]]. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was [[Bassani]]. [[Matteo Simonelli]], the well-known singer of the pope’s chapel, taught him composition.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His first major success was gained in [[Paris]] at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to [[Germany]]. In [[1681]] he was in the service of the electoral prince of [[Bavaria]]; between [[1680]] and [[1685]] he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer [[Cristiano Farinelli]] (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato [[Farinelli]]). (Today his "musical decendents" can be traced to the seventh generation.)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1685 Corelli was in [[Rome]], where he led the festival performances of music for Queen [[Christina of Sweden]] and he was also a favorite of Cardinal [[Pietro Ottoboni]], grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became [[Pope Alexander VIII]]). From [[1689]] to [[1690]] he was in [[Modena]]; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In [[1708]] he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to [[Naples]], at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.

| |
| − | The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as [[Francesco Geminiani]], [[Pietro Locatelli]], and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to ''Italian Violin Concertos'', Veritas, 2003)
| |

| |
| − | However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin never proceed above D on the highest string, the highest note in the third position; it is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] that he refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to [[Handel]]’s [[oratorio]] ''[[Trionfo del Tempo]]'' (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offence when the composer played the note.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nevertheless, his compositions for the instrument mark an epoch in the history of [[chamber music]]; his influence was not confined to his own country. Even [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] is said<sup class="noprint">[[[Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words#Examples|''Please name specific person or group'']]]</sup>[[Category:Articles with weasel words]] to have deferred to him, and he is considered one of [[Antonio Vivaldi]]'s greatest influences.

| |
| − | Musical society in Rome owed much to Corelli. He was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy, and for a long time presided at the celebrated Monday concerts in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Corelli died in possession of a fortune of 120,000 marks and a valuable collection of pictures, the only luxury in which he had indulged. He left both to his benefactor and friend, who generously made over the money to Corelli's relations. Corelli is buried in the [[Pantheon, Rome|Pantheon at Rome]]. You can still trace back many generations from student to teacher from Corelli.

| |
| − | His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of [[counterpoint]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Six collections of [[violin concerto|concerti]], [[violin sonata|sonatas]] and minor pieces for violin, with accompaniment of other instruments, besides several concerted pieces for strings, are authentically ascribed to Corelli. The most important of these is the XII ''Suonati a violino e violone o cimbalo'' (Rome, 1700). Corelli is also noted for the ''[[Twelve Concerti Grossi]]'', opus 6, which is arguably one of his most famous works.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These concerti have often been popular in Western culture. For example, a portion of one of Corelli's twelve Concerti Grossi, Opus 6 (Concerto 8 (The [[Christmas Concerto]]), 3rd movement) is in the soundtrack of the film ''[[Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World]]''. He is also referred to frequently in the novel ''[[Captain Corelli's Mandolin]]''.
